| anduril | anyways night all :) | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| InHisName | I think my problems are burning a CD slow enough to not have installation problems. Brasero seems to want to burn 28x - 37x even when I specify 8.0x !!! | 00:52 |
| MobileTurkey | can't you set a option to go slower and also to do a md5 or sha1 sum of it? | 00:55 |
| InHisName | Set setting to: 8.0x ---> avg drive speed: 4338KiB/s(25.2x) about 3 TIMES faster than my cieling ! | 00:56 |
| InHisName | OK, Brasero - out, GnomeBaker - out (no speed limit), Now trying K3B - will limit down to 8x. As it writes it seems to limited to 6.64x & 7.07x both below 8x. Also verifying CD after write. | 02:01 |
| InHisName | All done, not hung, eject works. On to testing the install, now. | 02:01 |
| InHisName | Hmmm, the last disk seems to be still writing the install, maybe it's ok too. Waiting some more...... | 02:03 |
| MobileTurkey | InHisName: dude get some better software. | 02:11 |
| MobileTurkey | or just do a usb install.... | 02:11 |
| InHisName | needs a motherboard that supports usb install to do that. | 02:25 |
| MobileTurkey | dang | 02:26 |
| MobileTurkey | how old is that box? | 02:26 |
| MobileTurkey | I mean most of my old boxes even support that | 02:26 |
| InHisName | Gettin' older every year. I stumbled onto a Quad core cheap and bought a MB that was being clearanced. And that was several years ago. 2.4Ghz quad. No reason to upgrade when I have NO income. | 02:28 |
| MobileTurkey | me neither | 02:39 |
| MobileTurkey | lack of income is pretty crappy | 02:39 |
| JonathanD | Morning. | 09:22 |
| jedijf | wet | 09:37 |
| JonathanD | yes | 09:40 |
| rmg51 | wet morning all;-) | 09:57 |
| JonathanD | SOunded like sometihng just blew up | 10:10 |
| rmg51 | I didn't hear a thing | 10:19 |
| InHisName | me neither | 11:39 |
| InHisName | only rain drop noises here | 11:39 |
| teddy-dbear | morning | 12:04 |
| anduril | I can haz ice scream sammawich? | 12:05 |
| teddy-dbear | only if you share with me :-D | 12:10 |
| * InHisName jumps into the sharing circle too | 12:11 | |
| JonathanD | It was in bridgeport | 12:56 |
| InHisName | too far away for me to hear something from there. | 13:04 |
| InHisName | any pidgin experts around ? I see: history plugin requires logging when I start Pidgin. That is due to a setting that may be incomplete. Not sure where to find it. | 13:53 |
| rmg51 | InHisName: look under preferences logging | 13:58 |
| rmg51 | you can also find it in the top left corner Options | 13:59 |
| * JonathanD looks around. | 14:03 | |
| InHisName | options>enable logging-checked not finding preferences nor buddy lists unity sure hides stuff from old methods. | 14:07 |
| rmg51 | try alt-tab | 14:12 |
| rmg51 | see if it's there | 14:12 |
| rmg51 | I have to ask, how did you get to plugins? | 14:14 |
| InHisName | Pidgin is all the chat rooms, the buddy list is separate but is not running in alt-tab. I used to click on envelope in upper left and see options - one was to start buddy list. Not there now (in envelope) | 14:28 |
| rmg51 | since I'm hot using Unity, not sure I can be of anymore help | 14:33 |
| teddy-dbear | silly Unity :P | 14:34 |
| fosburg | can MAC postscirpt fonts be installed Ubuntu OS? | 17:54 |
| InHisName | My NetGear WNDR3700 arrived. Now to fit it into my other routers/switches and to work well together. | 21:16 |
| beta0x64 | what's up? | 22:46 |
| rmg51 | me | 22:46 |
| beta0x64 | ew... | 22:46 |
| InHisName | I'm sittin' down | 22:46 |
| beta0x64 | just kidding | 22:47 |
| InHisName | I'm sittin' down | 22:47 |
| beta0x64 | Interesting! | 22:47 |
| beta0x64 | not really. | 22:47 |
| InHisName | Can a wireless router be configured to act more like a wireless switch ? | 22:49 |
| anduril | you mean as a repeater or range extender? | 22:49 |
| jedijf | access point | 22:50 |
| InHisName | No so same network in wan and out the ports. i.e. 192.168.101.x same as my main router assignments to other devices. | 22:51 |
| anduril | yes the netgears can be configured that way | 22:51 |
| InHisName | Is there a buzz word to search the pdf for ? | 22:52 |
| beta0x64 | InHisName, what type of router is it? | 22:53 |
| anduril | are you hard wiring this router to your other router or you want it to grab wirelessly and broadcast that way? | 22:53 |
| InHisName | a, b, g, n is that the answer you are seeking ? | 22:53 |
| beta0x64 | InHisName, what exactly do you want to do? Describe your desired response. You may just want to mess with routing tables | 22:53 |
| jedijf | http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/lanwan-basics/30740-how-to-use-a-router-to-add-network-ports | 22:54 |
| jedijf | InHisName: ^^^ | 22:54 |
| anduril | If you're hardwiring your new router to your old one and using the old one as the DHCP server then disable the DHCP server on the Netgear unit and hardware it in. Otherwise if you're wanting to connect the netgear to your other router wirelessly then you need to go into Wireless Repeating Function and set it up there | 22:54 |
| InHisName | I have a linux box router -- then -- 16 port 100/10 switch it want to attach wan to one of these ports and have IPs assigned by dhcp from same network (like a switch could do) | 22:55 |
| InHisName | I have read thru 70% of user manual so far. Down into security stuff now. Maybe it is after security and before index. | 22:56 |
| anduril | Ok I have the WNDR3400...go into LAN Setup, turn off "Use Router as DHCP server," change the Netgear 3700's IP address to something high in the range so it doesn't conflict with something else. Make sure its on the same subnet as your linux router | 22:57 |
| InHisName | Ok, starting to make sense with turning off. I have a wndr3700. Should be similar. | 22:58 |
| anduril | should be netgear changed the interface only on their new top halo model | 22:59 |
| anduril | they've get it the same otherwise since like ver 3 of the POS 614 brick model | 22:59 |
| jedijf | hey, i think i have that brick | 23:00 |
| anduril | :-p it wasnt until their last Linux model (dont remember exacty version but its the same as what I have now just without dual band) that I started recommending netgear again | 23:00 |
| anduril | I just hate how their admin page resets the router with the most triviol of changes. ticks the gf off to no end when Im messing around and boom goes the interwebs | 23:01 |
| InHisName | Lotta folks like the 3700, many like it better with ddwrt I thought I'd try with supplied sw first then think about changing. | 23:02 |
| jedijf | s/changing/bricking | 23:02 |
| anduril | just a word of warning if you're planning on using the USB port for sharing out a drive? Its SLOOOOOOOOW | 23:03 |
| InHisName | no, not really | 23:03 |
| anduril | hmm Im way down on firmware rev | 23:07 |
| InHisName | I was reading the setup manual, I see the user manual has more useful info in it. | 23:11 |
| anduril | who reads the manual? :) | 23:12 |
| InHisName | I usually read / skim to get the gist and get all running. I'll probably FULLY read the security setup section. I know too little and can't wing security. | 23:13 |
| anduril | there isnt too much to the security section really. Run WPA2 (you have to for decent N performance anyways) and thats that for the most part | 23:14 |
| anduril | unless you're planning on doing DMZ (which you wont if you're using it as an access point) or guest networks or port forwarding or the like | 23:14 |
| InHisName | do I need to use WPS at all ? What does it stand for ? | 23:14 |
| anduril | thats the quick setup thing if I remember correctly | 23:14 |
| anduril | hit a button on the router and a button on the wireless card and it auto sets up or something. never used it | 23:15 |
| InHisName | I can skip it for manual setup ? | 23:15 |
| anduril | yup | 23:15 |
| InHisName | 'k | 23:15 |
| InHisName | dinner, l8tr | 23:15 |
| anduril | you'll probably also want to turn off NAT Filtering under WAN Setup but Im not 100% on that | 23:16 |
| rmg51 | InHisName: did you ever figure out Pidgin? | 23:24 |
| rmg51 | if you didn't here is the way to find preferences | 23:28 |
| rmg51 | you need the buddy list to be visible | 23:30 |
| rmg51 | if it's not there click on the envelope on the top panel | 23:30 |
| rmg51 | Pidgin will show up there | 23:31 |
| rmg51 | click on it and the buddy list will appear | 23:31 |
| rmg51 | with it visible mouse over to the left top corner of the menu bar | 23:32 |
| rmg51 | it will show Pidgin Internet Messenger | 23:33 |
| rmg51 | when you mouse over it, it will change and show you four options | 23:34 |
| rmg51 | Buddies, Accounts, Tools and Help | 23:34 |
| rmg51 | click Tools-Preferences | 23:35 |
| rmg51 | done | 23:35 |
| rmg51 | and stop asking questions about Unity | 23:36 |
| rmg51 | I don't want to boot into Unity unless I don't have any other choice :P | 23:37 |
| InHisName | ok I got buddy list to appear. Looking for what set off the Tools-prefs not seeing those choices, yet. | 23:50 |
| InHisName | Top left of WHOLE screen. Uggh, keep forgetting it so way far away from the app. | 23:52 |
| rmg51 | menu bar | 23:54 |
| InHisName | I'm in prefs now. looking thru it. | 23:54 |
| rmg51 | it's under logging | 23:56 |
| InHisName | I clicked it to see how it will do. | 23:57 |
| rmg51 | your on your own from this point on | 23:59 |
| InHisName | Thanks rmg51 | 23:59 |
